Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Mursalat, Jeddah
Al Mursalat is a residential district in the far southeastern corner of Jeddah near Bahrah, where apartment blocks cluster around roads and the Jeddah Makkah Expressway runs through. Pools here suffer from dark oily soot from the highway and rust from sea humidity, and water dirties fast. We test and clean deeply because conditions here are harsh.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Mursalat
Pools in Al Mursalat blacken rapidly from soot and coastal humidity, and rust appears on metal within weeks of the first fill. For the method itself, see our swimming pool cleaning service in detail.
-
The first reason
Dark greasy soot from the expressway clings to everything
The Jeddah Makkah Expressway passes directly through the district carrying heavy trucks and vehicles without pause. Diesel soot and engine oil enter the water, filter and walls, and water darkens fast. The filter needs very frequent backwashing, and walls need scraping every few weeks.
-
The second reason
Coastal humidity and sea salt cause rapid rust
The proximity to the sea raises air humidity and sea salt enters the water. Iron and copper in pipes and steps rust quickly, staining water brown or green. Wet areas and bathrooms develop mildew fast, and fabrics smell musty.
-
The third reason
Dense building traps humidity around the pool area
Pools here sit surrounded by thick apartment blocks that trap moisture, and air circulation is poor. Algae and fungus grow fast on walls and filter media. Treatment requires antifungal approaches more often than in drier districts.

-
Water chemistry tested first
We test the water first in Al Mursalat because salt, soot and rust shift chemistry fast, and accurate measurement directs the right treatment.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Black-stained walls are scraped hard, then the water is treated to slow algae and soot returning quickly.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
The floor holds black deposits of soot and rust, so we vacuum carefully without re-suspending fine particles.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
The skimmer and baskets fill rapidly with leaves, soot and salt, so we inspect and empty them fully each visit before filtering.
-
Filter backwash
The filter needs very frequent backwashing because of oily soot buildup, and we may need twice-weekly cycles.
-
Chemical balance reset
We test chemical balance after each step and add treatments to prevent algae and rust appearing fast again.
Not included
- Repairing pumps, filters or pool plumbing
- Fixing cracks, leaks or replacing tile
- Draining and acid-washing an empty pool, that is a separate service
- Removing permanent staining from metals or long-neglected plaster
How a pool is actually cleaned
-
1
Test before we add anything
pH, sanitiser and hardness are read at the start.
-
2
Skim and net first
Floating leaves and debris come off before we brush.
-
3
Brush walls, steps and waterline
Algae and the oily waterline film cling to the surfaces.
-
4
Vacuum the floor
Silt settles in the deep end and the corners the return jets never reach.
-
5
Clean the filter and baskets
The skimmer and pump baskets are cleared and the filter checked or backwashed.
-
6
Balance, dose, and walk it with you
With the water clean, we balance and dose, then walk the pool with you before leaving.

What is different about South Jeddah
South Jeddah runs from the port and the industrial city down towards Al Khumrah, and homes here sit between the sea and the heavy goods roads. The dust is darker and oilier than in the north, a mix of diesel soot and workshop grit, and it clings to net curtains, window sills and the tops of kitchen cupboards. Floors in the older low rise housing are often plain cement or ceramic tile that darkens where soot is walked in. Humidity from the coast adds mildew in bathrooms and a musty smell in stored fabrics.
Questions about swimming pool cleaning in Al Mursalat
Is dark greasy soot dangerous for skin and eyes when swimming?
Soot is fine and oily, enters eyes and irritates skin. Large amounts worsen the reaction. We remove soot from water and walls quickly, and clean treated water cuts exposure significantly.
Why does rust appear green and brown on steps so quickly?
High humidity and sea salt speed rust on copper and iron. Steps face water and air constantly, so rust shows within weeks. We clean it, but it returns, and the permanent fix is protective coating or replacement with rust-resistant material.
Does winter weather reduce salt, rust and soot problems?
Winter is cooler so algae grows less, but salt does not decrease. Engine soot continues all year. The difference is that cold slows algae growth, but rust and salt remain constant problems in Al Mursalat.
Do we need specialist filters for soot and salt in Al Mursalat?
A standard filter works but needs more frequent backwashing than other areas. If you want extra pre-filtration before the main filter, we can add it. We advise based on the quality of the first fill water.
Does a coastal setting mean safer water or more problems?
Coastal environment means more problems: salt, rust, humidity and algae. Water is not safer here; it needs more careful and frequent care. We understand these problems and treat them with targeted approaches.
How often per year should a pool in Al Mursalat be serviced?
In Al Mursalat we recommend weekly or ten-day service because conditions are harsh. Summer needs more frequent visits than winter. Initially we test weekly, then reduce intervals as water stability improves.
Do you repair pumps or filters?
No. We clean and balance the water and clear the baskets and filter, but repairing pumps, motors or plumbing is a separate trade. If we find a mechanical fault, we tell you what it is so you can get it fixed.
Do you drain the pool to clean it?
Not for a normal clean. Vacuuming, brushing and balancing are all done with the pool full. Draining and acid-washing is only for specific cases like heavy staining or a full reset, and that is a separate service we'd discuss first.
How much does swimming pool cleaning in Al Mursalat cost?
It is set after the inspection, because it follows the size of the job, the materials involved and their condition. Send photos on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Mursalat.
